Grand Canyon and Monument Valley

We decided to finally take a trip out to the Grand Canyon! We have talked about it for years and we finally had time to do it! So we started out 10 day trip with the GC!
We spent the night in Beautiful Flagstaff and then headed out to see the beauty of this BIG canyon. It was truly HUGE and beautiful and of course AMAZING! I was a nervous wreck the whole time though having the kids there out by the cliffs. We made it out safely though! Their were so very crazy people that were way too willing to put their lives on the line for a photo. Not us! We are really happy we went and are now able to check it off our list!














This is Monument Valley. It was a pretty amazing sight! These HUGE rock formations pretty much appear out of NOWHERE after you drive for hours and hours seeing nothing else! Chris likes to watch old John Wayne movies and heard about this place. So after the Grand Canyon we drove here and then onto Moab and SLC!

The picture of Chris, Landon and Avie makes me so nervous! I bet this was a gorgeous trip, so majestic. I am always in awe of God's creations, especially on such a massive scale.
